Each of us has special, joyful moments in our lives. A small sliver of those the are over-the-top moments of profound happiness that will never be forgotten. They are to be cherished, celebrated and relived over and over. I had the privilege of sharing one of these key life moments with dear friends during the baptism of their young son. As an extra treat for me, I was honored to be asked to photograph this precious family event.

After years of longing and much faith, Eric and Yolanda were blessed with a beautiful son. Their lives where filled with joy as the proud parents shared their new bundle of love with those around them. Not long after, they invited a small group of their closest family and special friends to travel to a tiny town in rural Florida. There, we found a humble church and a very loving priest who performed the ceremony. His compassionate words and the twinkle in his eye reaffirmed that he was the right person to be part of this quiet event. It was a truly wonderful day for all and a priceless moment in time for this young family. Congratulations Eric, Yolanda and young Xander!

Months or even years of planning, the anticipation, budgets, selecting vendors, who sits next to whom, chicken or fish, DJ or live band…these are all details, some stressful but most fun, that lead up to a wedding day. The day arrives, the decorations are set and the guests fill a waiting room. A walk,much shorter than the distance from home plate to 1st base, will change the lives of a couple forever. Smiles, some wonderful words the officiate shares, though mostly a blur to the bride and groom, and then two simple “I Do”s unite them as husband and wife. All the preparation, the nerves, and the anticipation has passed. One can ask, what is there left to do?

…why dance of course! DANCE! And that is exactly what our fair Dana and stud Rob did to end their beautiful wedding night!

The crowd smiled and clapped as the new couple took their first steps on the dance floor. They moved with grace and poise as they whirled and turned in front of their joyful family and friends. Rob’s confidence was evident as he dipped and held his new bride.

Dancing is a language of love. By the way these two moved in unison, they will have many happy dances to come!
